"You made me believe that even the asshole person I know in this world, could have a big heart, after all :) "
The first time you ask us to answer the trainor-survey I felt like just a normal trainors-self-survey-form thing we usually did in school. You know writing the negative and positive traits of our trainor so that maybe they could change what must be change for good and for good of all his students. :)
But as time pass by, that "Trainors-self-survey-from" seemed to be an "Appreciation Letter" for me. Everytime before we take the assessment you always say "okay answer first the survey before we proceed to your assessment..."
Yes, exactly ! I know what to do.
To give you an idea of what I usually write for him It goes like this...
"Thank you Jon ! keep in my mind that when I say it, I mean it. I hope that by saying this in unlimited way doesn't spoil its meaning to you. Thanks for teaching us everything under the sun not just the things that we have to learn in our training but most especially the things that we have to learn in life.
We are learning for more than TP's paying for. Thank you for teaching us without making us feel like we're such a dummies and for your selfless imparting us your knowledge. Thanks for giving us the EXAMS of our lives, exam which almost felt like a FINAL EXAMS in school.
You know what you have been so hard on us... Oh come on I know you know that :)
But like a father, you only want whats the best for us, like a father you wont help us when we fall on the ground while playing basketball or whatever you name it. Rather you would look on us with your tiger-looking eyes that says "Get up son! I believe in you. I BELIEVE YOU CAN DO IT""
"just imagine the feeling that someone still believes in you even when you have fallen a thousand times, feels good right??? "
You are such a blessings to everyone of us.
You have unselfishly shared your story to us and that may be the reason why we feel so close to you. I mean, few trainors only do that -- sharing their life stories and showing their students their weakness and soft sides. Who are we to be treated like this by a fully-experienced highly-respected man... Just honored :)
Well maybe this is your calling. With that position and love you have for teaching! Who would oppose that this is really your calling. You are born and meant to do this.
For those times you would utter the magic words "okay answer first the survey before we proceed to your assessment..." I thank him because I never ran out of things to write..never....I'll be forever be thankful for a gift like you, Great Trainors still do exist...Thank God.
PS:
To future trainee of this trainor. Guys! Believe what you are about to experience and forget what you heard :)
best wishes....
